[Alsa-user] Problem after updating from suse kernel 2.6.16-rc5-git2-2 to 2.6.16-4

[Dirk <di...@wo...>]

Hello,

up to 2.6.16_rc5_git2-2 alsa worked fine.

After installing opensuse kernel 2.6.16-4 I have got the following problem:

ALSA seems to come up well:
root@martini:~ . # cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [CMI8738MC6     ]: CMI8738-MC6 - C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6
                      C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6 (model 55) at 0xd400, irq 11
root@martini:~ . # cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.11rc3 (Sun Jan 22 09:27:15 2006 UTC).
root@martini:~ . # cat /proc/asound/card0/id
CMI8738MC6

But every access to alsa results in an error (which depends on
the tools I have used). As stated above, alsamixer for example:

root@martini:~ . # strace -eopen alsamixer
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY)      = 3
open("/lib/libncurses.so.5", O_RDONLY)  = 3
open("/usr/lib/libasound.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/tls/libm.so.6", O_RDONLY)    = 3
open("/lib/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY)       = 3
open("/lib/tls/libpthread.so.0", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/tls/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY)    = 3
open("/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR)      = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR)      = -1 ENODEV (No such device)

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
root@martini:~ . # ls -la /dev/snd/controlC0 /dev/aloadC0
crw-rw----  1 root audio 116, 0 2004-10-02 10:38 /dev/aloadC0
crw-rw----  1 root audio 116, 0 2004-10-02 10:38 /dev/snd/controlC0
root@martini:~ . #


Module snd_cmipci (and many others) seems to be loaded correctly.

Can anyone help me?
Or is there a way to get more debugging info?

P.S. Once again: When I boot 2.6.16_rc5_git2-2 alsa still works fine.


Thank you,


Dirk
